Beginning at sea level, this back-country adventure travels rugged dirt trails up spectacular canyons and through desert washes, taking you through two deserts and the transition zone between two ecosystems.

Below 3,000 feet, the Colorado Desert encompasses the eastern part of the Joshua Tree National Park and features natural gardens of creosote, ocotillo, and cholla cactus.

The higher, moister, and slightly cooler Mojave Desert is the special habitat of the Joshua tree. The rugged mountains of twisted rock and exposed granite monoliths testify to the tremendous earth forces that shaped and formed the desert landscape.

Don't forget your camera, as you will want to take pictures of the gigantic boulders, Joshua trees, yuccas, and other lush plant life that live in this area. This is a great tour to beat the heat in the warmer months as temperatures in Joshua Tree National Park are typically 10-15 degrees cooler than in the low desert.

This tour departs from a central location in Coachella. The address will be provided on your E-Ticket when your tour is confirmed.

Notes

-Where does the tour depart?
This tour departs from a central location in Coachella. The address will be provided on your E-Ticket when your tour is confirmed.

-Can children go?
Of course! But, this is our most rugged 4-wheel drive tour. We take children 6 years old and over on this tour. California Law requires that children under 60 pounds must ride in an approved child safety seat. To ensure the safety of your child, you must provide your own car seat if your child is under 60 pounds and you must assume responsibility for buckling your child into the seat to make sure the child is properly secured.

-How rough is the ride?
This is our most rugged 4-wheel drive tour and is not recommended for guests with neck or back injuries. Women who are pregnant are advised to consult with their doctor before taking this tour.

-How many guests fit in one jeep?
Each jeep carries 7 passengers plus your Naturalist Guide/Driver.

-Do we need to bring water?
Our jeeps are stocked with plenty of cool bottled water and granola bars.

-Are there restrooms?
Clean restrooms are available on our tour.

-What kind of shoes and clothes should I wear?
You should wear closed toe shoes with rubber soles (no open toes). Desert temperatures change quickly, so dress in layers and bring sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen.

-Can I bring a video or other camera?
Absolutely, the photo opportunities are wonderful.

-Do you get out of the jeep? is there hiking involved? How difficult?
Yes, on most of our tours, you get out of your jeep several times to see things up close and personal.

-What kind of wildlife will we see?
Desert wildlife includes coyotes, kit fox, tarantulas, scorpions, an occasional mountain lion, rattle snakes and other cool snakes (don't be scared...they are more scared of you and will hide in most instances: unless you are lucky!) Most desert wildlife is seen early morning or late in the afternoon just before sunset.

Equipment
Today, we have the largest fleet of Jeep Scramblers (CJ-8) in the country. From an initial fleet consisting of three used vehicles with a capacity of nine passengers, we have grown to operate 16 custom-built Jeep Scramblers with a seating capacity of 112.

All vehicles are equipped with radios and First Aid gear, approved safety features such as roll bars and seat belts for each occupant, and can be operated as open-air vehicles or with the canvas top unfurled. Our full-time Jeep Operations Manager checks each vehicle daily.
